What period and group are your elements in?
The Nitrogen family is group 15 and in periods 2-6. List the elements in your group.
Go up to chart. Is your group a solid, liquid, or gas?
Except for Nitrogen the rest are solids. What are three physical properties of your group?
All of the elements in our group, except Nitrogen and Phosphorus are metals.
Nitrogen is a gas.
All the others are solids. What are three chemical properties of your group?
Nitrogen doesn't react with any other element.
Phosphorus is used in match heads and it helps the matches ignite more easily.
As a diatomic molecule, nitrogen isn't very reactive. What are three interesting facts about your group?
You can get nitrogen from the food you eat.
Nitrogen occurs in nature in the form of diatomic molecules.
The atmosphere is almost 80% nitrogen. What are two common uses for your group?
Farmers add Nitrogen compound in to the soil as fertilizer.
Bacteria can use the Nitrogen to form a compound in a process called Nitrogen Fixation.
